Betreff: AW: [R-meta] foreign characters in R

 

Dear Philippe,

 

Thank you very much for the helpful links. I try to attach a screenshot – there is indeed an R console window underneath the forest plots I create, but I am not able to change the settings in there. I would like to display Ylmaz as Yılmaz.

Dear Teresa,

Usually, this type of problem are solved when you use the right encoding for your language (Turkish is UTF-8) . Please take a look of this: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200532197-Character-Encoding-in-the-RStudio-IDE. Not sure how to work this with an external wrapper software as OpenMeta seems to work (I don't have previous experience in OpenMeta, so I taking your word).

May be, you can change the link function between OpenMeta and R, or the default encoding of R. I think this also can be helpful to understand how to change the default options from the "root":   https://www.py4u.net/discuss/858888

Hello everyone,
 
As I have not been very lucky finding a strategy to solve my issue with entering author names, I thought I would give it a try and ask here.
 
I am working with the software OpenMeta Analyst (methods are implemented in R programming language) and everything analysis-rated has work out perfectly so far, but now I have an issue with entering author names that contain foreign characters such as the turkish c (ç). I am able to enter the names, but the letters are dropped in the respective forest plots.
 
Perhaps someone has worked with the software before and has advice for me. I am quite familiar with R and I know that there are some tricks how to make R accept foreign characters, but I am having trouble handling this in OpenMeta Analyst.
 
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
 
Thanks a lot and best wishes,
Teresa
